Dated 11 Aug 2004

This is a BIG size book (the size of a regular sheet of paper), if you want a “mini” size (half the size of a regular sheet of paper), it is also on this web site.

Field Manual (FM) 3-19.12 is a FM developed to provide guidance for protective-services (PS) operations and presents emerging doctrine in the field of PS. This FM was created as a guide for special agents of the United States Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC) and for military police (MP) assigned to PS duties. FM 3-19.12 describes tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) critical to successful PS operations. Operational situations, however, may dictate adaptation or modification to the TTP.

This FM applies to all USACIDC and MP personnel performing PS missions, including active duty special agents, civilian special agents, and reserve and national guard special agents.

This FM provides the foundation for training, organizing, equipping, and deploying protective-services details (PSDs). This FM is a planning guide for commanders, team leaders, unit trainers, supervisors, and members charged with deploying PSDs for high-risk persons and visiting dignitaries.

This book is a “BIG” (11 inches high by 8 1/2 inches wide) size – the size of a regular sheet of paper.  The binding is using coils, allowing for easy, non jamming page flipping.

The color cover is laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.
